Best Venue in New Orleans

We got married at Paradigm in April 2023, from the day we booked until our wedding, the staff was outstanding, responsive, and helpful beyond our wildest expectations. The tasting and menu creation felt very personal and considerate of our needs and dietary restrictions. The day of coordination was smooth and our guests consistently mentioned that the venue feels like a movie, because it was so beautiful. A perfect spring wedding spot easily held 75 guests with room to spare. Paradigm was there through every step of the planning process and helped us create the day that we really wanted. Can't recommend this space highly enough. If I could get married there again next weekend I would!
